What was your favorite subject in school?

I was reading the responses from everyone who answered this prompt and I wondered why isn’t the answer “whatever I am good at”.

Isn’t it naturally for people like what they easily get high marks for?

Studying has always been a struggle for me. The odd thing is when I became older and nobody was forcing me to study, when I want to do something difficult out of boredom, I picked studying. Studying finance! Incredible, really. I can’t even figure out my own account and balance it. Needless to say it was a pain and I am mostly of the passed after fervent prayer sort. And this is after barely passing my undergrad majoring in accounting and economic history.

It is common for some people to have repeating nightmares. I consistently put myself in those nightmarish situations. I want to go back to school after I am done with work. Just to study again! Economic history and maybe econometrics!

But why? Why do I do things that are hard and I don’t even like them very much ?
